"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly gave Amodei an ultimatum this week, to either give him total access to its AI model or face harsh penalties. Amodei, however, said he could not in good conscience comply with the Pentagon's demands for fear the technology could be used for mass surveillance or to create fully autonomous weapons."
"THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military."
"Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic's products, at various levels."
President Trump issued an executive order banning all federal agencies from using Anthropic's artificial intelligence technology. The conflict arose when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded complete access to Anthropic's AI model, threatening penalties if refused. CEO Dario Amodei declined, citing concerns that unrestricted military access could enable mass surveillance and autonomous weapons development. Trump characterized Anthropic as a radical left company attempting to dictate military operations and accused the company of endangering American lives and national security. A six-month phase-out period was established for agencies currently using Anthropic's products, with Trump threatening severe civil and criminal consequences if the company fails to cooperate during the transition.
